In weekly worship, we gather as a community of Christ.  We seek to praise God, to hear God's word of grace in Jesus Christ, to share in the Lord's Supper, to pray for the concerns of our community and the world, and to be strengthened in faith as we are sent out into the world to serve in Christ's name.
